and 10-The bird you caught by surprise Beats its wing, and off it flies. Love ignores you, you wait and mope, Then there it is-when you give up hope. Love's all around you. Quick, quick! You have no man, or you have your pick. Think you've found love? It turns you down cold. Think you've escaped it? It has you in its hold.

Chapter 11- Insolent Boy
Erik had pulled back first, not sure what to think. No one had ever kissed him like this before. No one had ever willingly, come to him first, but Rene had. She not only let him have her, but she wanted him, and so, with little hesitation, Erik had returned her kiss.
He had watched her coming toward him, almost in terror, but when she had pressed her lips to his, he no longer cared that she was not Christine, or that he was angry at her for having that boy in her room.
Erik pressed himself to her, and lay his hands on her waist. He investigated her bodice with his hands. Rene threw her arms around his neck and pulled him even closer to him, opening her mouth, to invite him in. He let himself explore her mouth with his tongue. His mind raced, but none of the thoughts matter, for Rene was in his arms, and she had come to him, without threats or warnings.
Rene drowned in his smell. She burned under his touch, and his breath inside her was enough to make her weak. She felt his body ease, and then push up against hers. She moaned with delight.
The embrace lasted a long time, but to Rene it was not enough. When they pulled away, Rene was breathless and weak in the knees. She faltered, and Erik caught her, scooping her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and lay her head on his broad chest.
Erik carried Rene over to the bed and bent down to lay her down, when suddenly, the door flew open, revealing a wide eyed Christian standing in the doorway. He stared, amazed at the angel, and then opened his mouth.
"Who the hell are you!" Christian yelled, staring astonished at Erik. "What the hell are you doing here!" He took a step into the door, as Erik rose to a full standing position. Christian continued for him. Erik's lips curled at Christian, as Christian yelled, coming toward them, one of his hands lifted, brandishing a finger at Erik. "Get out! I don't know what you think you are doing, but get out!" He motioned for the door, imploring Erik to leave.
Rene sat up quickly, and started yelling toward Christian. "Christian… He's not… It's not what you think it…" but Christian ignored her.
He came at Erik, one hand raised to punch him, but Erik moved quickly and he grabbed Christian by the throat, and threw him to the wall. Christian hit the floor, choking and sputtering. Rene sqeeked in horror. Erik rounded on Christian and then grabbed a long piece of rope from under his cloak. He pulled it around Christian's small neck. He squeezed, until Christian was kicking and flapping. His mouth gapping open and closed like a fish out of water.
Rene screamed. "Erik, no!" She rose out of her bed. "Please, angel, don't hurt him…" She pleaded quietly.
Erik loosened his grip. He staightened and turned toward her. He looked at her for a moment, and then ran for the mirror. Rene watched him. He looked back at her, longing in his eyes. He turned, and then disappeared into the darkness of the mirror.
Rene ran to Christian, who commenced to cough up blood and spatter continually. Rene pulled him onto her lap, and held him. She held him gently, but not with the love with which she had given Erik. She stroked his hair, comfortingly. "It's going to be okay." she assured him. "It's going to be okay…" She looked at the open door. "Help!" she yelled at it. "Somebody! Please, help!"
Meg came storming through the door. "What, what is it?" She said, and then she spotted Rene and Christian lieing on the floor. She gaped at them for a minute and then held up her hands in a stopping gesture. "Stay here. Don't move." she said, backing out into the hallway. "I will go get someone." Then she was gone.
